Do Something Good for Your Neighbor

At Holy Trinity, our faith and Ignatian tradition call us to build a more just world that upholds dignity, equality and access to social and economic opportunity for all. We provide monthly opportunities for service, both through the parish and with tithe partners.

What Can I Do To Help?

Across the D.C. area, there are escalating numbers of people coming to food banks and assistance programs as a result of inflation, displacement of the unhoused, government layoffs and terminations, and cuts to food programs. Holy Trinity’s weekly Sunday meal program is averaging more than 100 guests per week, up 25% from this time last year.  You can make a difference: 

You can participate in these Holy Trinity programs to support our neighbors:

  • Saturday Suppers: Prepare and serve Saturday Suppers at Mt. Zion Church - sign up for February 2026 and March 2026 dates
  • Sunday Suppers: Prepare and serve dinner each Sunday in Trinity Hall - please e-mail Mike Conway to be added to the volunteer list

Community Meal Sharing

The Social Justice Ministry has arranged for Holy Trinity parishioners to prepare, deliver, and serve a meal at partner organizations in DC and VA. If your committee, club, class, neighbors or friends would like to host a date, please email aklick@trinity.org to sign up and for more details.

Community Support

Every month parishioners provide food items for partners at Fr. McKenna Center, Georgetown Ministry Center and SOME. Items include snack bags, breakfast casseroles, bagels and fresh fruit. We ask that parishioners to sign up so that we may prepare our volunteers and partners for deliveries.  Collections happen outside Trinity Hall on O Street. We also maintain an Amazon Wish List to assist with additional requests.

Community Partner Requests:

As a congregational partner of Friendship Place, we encourage parishioners to consider volunteering on site. Learn more about current opportunities.

Migrant Familia Needs

As our familia grows, so do our needs. At this time, we are accompanying 30 individuals/families (six are in active accompaniment). We maintain a Community Wish List to support our families.  Thank you for your continued support of the Migrant Fund which covers expenses related to housing, legal support, food security, and healthcare. For more information or to volunteer, please email migrantteam@trinity.org.

Current needs:

  • Volunteers to join our medical and legal teams
  • Additional needs are updated weekly in the social justice eLetter

Saturday Suppers

For twelve years, Holy Trinity has joined other Georgetown churches to serve hospitality and meals for guests every Saturday. Churches rotate cooking responsibilities, and all dinners are served at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Georgetown. There has been an abundance of volunteers arriving at the Saturday Suppers, and unfortunately our model does not accommodate the large numbers. Only those who have signed up on the Sign Up Genius for a particular Saturday will find an opportunity to volunteer that day. Please sign up through the Social Justice Tuesday eLetter or email hdomenici@trinity.org.
